In the end you agreed that you meant “user experience” when you said “software”, and that “better” meant “more to your liking” as opposed to, say, “more sophisticated” or “higher quality”. It’s entirely your prerogative to prefer Tesla cars for any of their aspects, but claiming Porsche doesn’t...

I hear you, and i half-picked a fight earlier myself. Someone (shall remain unnamed, but there are many) keep railing against Porsche's "software", and it just drives me up the walls. Nvm that the car has fully software-controlled power delivery, the battery management or even the charging...

It's okay, arguing is fun. Hey, <random previous poster>, whaddayamean by "Porsche sucks at xyz", I'm here to tell you that my xyz is absolutely fantastic; 'abc' on the other hand..

@daveo4EV said “8 track weekends a year = 144,000 reminders a year - I didn't get the WP” Now that, kids, is how you really do man maths. ??

OP, the way you phrased it sounds like Model S is the clear winner. No point in worrying about whether you'll get home, if the Tesla eliminates that problem. Rule #1 (for me at least) is to never let other people (== enthusiasts) spend your money. If the Taycan doesn't work for you, let it go.

Your question (based on this from the original post: "I live in Nottingham and typically do a 250 mile round trip (North or south) once a week or so.") seems to be whether you can charge reliably once per trip/week? You'd only need ~30-50% of added charge to complete your trip, assuming you can...

The next timer takes precedence. Specifically: if your daily timer fires (is scheduled for) at 8am, and the one-off is set for 8:01, the car will use the daily timer as the target. Note this does not depend on target SoC, so if you have an 80% set for 8am, and a 100% for 9 - the car will...

@annieland ”will continue to play around and try not to get myself worked up :).” yes, very much this ^ - especially the latter part. Throw a wrench in the works, and deviate from the plan on your trip. Stop on the way in, and charge to <however long you have the patience to wait>, then let the...

Huh: Porsche CEO Jumps Ship for an Electric Car Company (msn.com)

I meant even on the quoted ranges - the C&D data for Rivian (which is an exact match*) does not seem to align with that of the others: C&D: R1T 280 real vs 314 EPA, whereas InEV: 254 vs 314. *For other brands, C&D's on-test models were different - Lucid Air GT (410/516) vs Air Dream (500/520)...

Also: - EVs Fall Short of EPA Estimates Way More Than Gas Cars in Our Real-World Testing (caranddriver.com) - the latest print issue has a graph with +/- vs EPA based on C&D's own testing, but that seems to be absent from the web site/article - EV Highway Range Can Be Very Different from the...

I really liked Lucid and rooted for them to topple Tesla. (You can see where this is going.) That was 3-4 years ago, when their technology was the best in the world, Tesla was in “production hell” and there were no other serious competitors on the horizon. But this guy has gotten stuck in the...

“Alfa Romeo Ranks Highest among Premium Brands for First Time” (<- no /s) Dammit, yet another spring of jokes is now extinguished. At least it goes out with one last burn: “quality takes a backseat to innovation” .. and Stellantis brands dominated this round.

I hate you.

You have a cover for your roof box? ? Or, you know, you could 'store' them installed on the car, and leave the roofbox on.. ?

Another option could be looking into a side-mounted garage door opener. You have a high ceiling, it'd be a shame not to install a lift/stacker in there at some point. :) (It would solve your more immediate issue as well, but you can "amortize" the cost with future expenses, too.)

I skimmed this thread, so forgive me if it's been said before: is it really a 'cost'-based decision? Because that'd be pretty easy to settle using 'enthusiast math': - one would be a "used deal", whereas the other is a made-to-your-order car. If you're looking for a deal, then the answer is...

"Has Sir purchased a 918, or a Carrera GT from us in the past - preferably one of each? No? Desolated, we can't accept a deposit at this time.. or at any other time." The CGT was the usual Porsche self-doubting (back then) - they were tired of just winning Le Mans all the time, had an aborted...

They took a major design turn with those 'light elements' (more precisely, a 90* turn). Not sure what's next - we've been through "4 dots in a square", "4 horizontal lines", "4 angled lines in an x". Might need to go the Peugeot/Adidas way and add another row.
